Nice!
Reading "women on the ledge" for this month's book club read. I'm a little behind so better start it tonight! π What are you reading at the moment? #BookSky
Started work early to finish early and read the rest of volume 3: the rose field by Phillip Pullman π 600 pages long and I made it! π Book 2 done of 2026.
#BookSky Does anyone else do a little dance after reading a very long book? ππ Hopefully not just me :-)
First pay day since redundancy is such a good feeling π also I had some good news which I'll share later. Have a good weekend all! I'm watching a pair of robins build a nest at the back of the garden. So awesome!
Thanks. It went ok!
Coming better prepared to my next interview (a permanent role). π Let's go ππ

Ramblings about "absolute truths" on my blog. I am starting to question the world my mind creates. Is it the absolute truth? Probably not. What even is absolute truth?
I woke up this morning asking what the point of everything is. Then have come to the conclusion that the universe does not provide meaning voluntary. We have to provide meaning into the universe. I happen to the world. Not the other way around.
Nice to have more headspace and energy to do deeper engagement in the quality & test community. π Enjoying learning from others. I've missed this.
π good start to the day π I need to get a move on. The struggle out of bed was tough today. At least it's Friday!
Someone asked me what they should do to stand out in this tough job market - I don't know what to say to this. I don't think there is a secret formula.
Iβm often asked for accessibility resources for beginners.
@laurakalbag.bsky.social's book has been my go to. Itβs clear, practical, and works for designers, developers, and anyone involved in building products. The best part: itβs now free and available online.
Bookmark it. Read it. Share it!
Grateful to be back working this week π I'll have to find another contract/role later on, yet taking what the universe passes my way.
